Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Thanks Crunchie.

Here is the Smitfraudfix log. Note that since my original post I have run Spybot S&D which got rid of a lot of stuff. I also installed AVG which got rid of one more thing.

Note also that I have BOTH Symantec and AVG installed because my "add and remove programs" folder no longer has the buttons to remove programs. It also does not semm to provide a complete list of programs anymore (virus or some good files got removed as I was cleaning up.??). I am going to try and find my XP Pro disk and repair it and try to remove Symantec again.

Anyway, here is the log:

Smitfraud log looks ok so please do this from your hijackthis log;

Can you please do the following.

===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

180 Solutions

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank

O3 - Toolbar: Security Toolbar - {11A69AE4-FBED-4832-A2BF-45AF82825583} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\zjfsxfnk.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sais] c:\program files\180solutions\sais.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [90041355] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\qkmprxen.dll",b

O16 - DPF: {288C5F13-7E52-4ADA-A32E-F5BF9D125F99} (CR64Loader Object) - http://www.miniclip.com/supergerball...GameLoader.dll
O16 - DPF: {EE2589EB-7FC8-44DB-A892-573F2C4B41E0} - http://pdf.forbes.com/forbesnews/tri...aderSigned.cab

O23 - Service: DomainService - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ysjxwhwo.exe (file missing)

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

c:\program files\180solutions

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\zjfsxfnk.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\qkmprxen.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
